We will be having an Adult Leader Training and dinner for current and prospective leaders on August 29th from 5:30 - 7:30 PM. R.S.V.P. is needed for meal planning. We look forward to seeing you.

The most valuable asset a 4-H member can have is his or her PARENTS.
We recognize the input and guidance an adult has with a 4-H member directly affects the level of success that member can and will achieve.


The Reason Your Participation with 4-H Youth is Important

The 4-H program builds self-esteem and productive citizens with skills to live in our dynamic global society. Preparing youth and adults for the future is the educational initiative of the 4-H & Youth Development Program. The 4-H program helps youth in gaining knowledge, developing lifetime skills, and in forming attitudes that will enable them to become contributing members of society.

4-H Offers Hands-On Education for Youth

The 4-H program uses hands-on learning experiences to teach educational information. These experiences provide opportunities to develop skills in communication, critical decision making, team work, record keeping, career exploration, management, responsibility and scientific knowledge.

Volunteer Leaders are Teachers

Recruiting and involving volunteer leaders is a key part of the 4-H & Youth Development Program. Leader training is an essential element to an ongoing and active program in which volunteers are involved as club managers, project leaders and activity coordinators. Youth and adults learn winning attitudes and skills they can use throughout their lifetime.

Thank You for Your Interest in the Future of Our Youth!
